Use Cloud Function from within another Cloud Function

[Alexej]

Hi,

how can one invoke a Cloud Function from within another Cloud Function? 

"Everlive.Sdk.$.businessLogic.invokeCloudFunction(cloudFunctionName, params).then(function (data) });" does not seem to work.

Thanks,

Alexej

Hi Alexej,

The method businessLogic.invokeCloudFunction() is not available in Cloud functions yet.

You may invoke another cloud function by making an HTTP request from cloud code to its endpoint URL. Here is how a sample cloud function that invokes another cloud function will look like:

Everlive.CloudFunction.onRequest(function(request, response, done){
    var requestOptions = {
        method: 'GET',
        url: 'https://api.everlive.com/v1/{app-id}/functions/{function-name}[?parameter1=value1¶meter2=value2&...parameterN=valueN]',
        options: null
    };

    console.log(Everlive.version);

    Everlive.Http.request(requestOptions.method, requestOptions.url, requestOptions.options, function(error, success){
                    if (error) {
                console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
            } else {
                console.log(JSON.stringify(success));
            }
            done();
    });
});

Please note that cloud functions have restrictions so you should use HTTP requests with caution as described here.
